They thought finding each other would heal them both, but life in Saint Lakes doesn’t make it that simple.

Sage Rickman changed the day vampire’s kidnapped him and decided to use him as their plaything. Now that he’s back in Saint Lakes he should feel safe, right? Hallucinations and the constant paranoia made daily life impossible at times. Peace of mind is an elusive creature. Finding out he has a mate that’s feral scares the crap out of him. His mate, Garridan, needs him to be normal, but he doesn’t even know what that looks like anymore.

Excerpt

Sage felt Garridan squeeze his hand and his heart jumped in his chest. Garridan opened his eyes slowly, sort of blinking a few times, getting used to the light that shone down on them from the ceiling. Their eyes met and some of the fear left his body. He physically relaxed just a little. They weren’t his dragon’s eyes so that helped ease some of the fear. It told Sage that Garridan wasn’t thinking about mating right then.

Garridan’s eyes were a piercing green so mesmerizing that Sage couldn’t look away even if he wanted to.

“Mate,” Garridan whispered. His voice was deep and had just enough gravel in it to indicate just how unused it had been in recent years.

“Are you thirsty? Hungry? Can I get you anything?” Sage said, getting up off the bed.

Garridan held his hand firmly, not letting go. “Mate.”

Sage smiled. “That’s right. Although, my name is Sage.”

Garridan scowled as if he didn’t understand. Sage sat back down.

It had to be tough on Garridan, waking up in a strange place and then finding out he had a mate the second he did. Garridan probably would need some help shuffling through all the confusion.

Sage tried to pull his hand away again, but Garridan held him firm. Garridan pulled Sage forward and he lost his balance. The next thing he knew he was lying underneath him. Sage had been in a position similar to this one before and that memory came flashing back to him now.

mates come with very special packages. As the
oldest son of irresponsible, selfish parents, Craig doesn't remember the last
time he shifted into his turtle form and took a nice relaxing swim. He's far
too busy working two jobs and taking care of his six younger siblings. When
Craig's mate comes crashing into the diner kitchen, where he's a cook, his life
gets even more complicated. As the oldest vampire in
existence, Zadimus has spent a lot of his years alone and liked it. Zadimus
never thought his introverted nature would ever be a problem until he meets his
mate’s family.

Just taking a moment away from Saint Lakes 5, to let you all know what I'm working on. So yeah, Begin Again is the Fifth installment in the Saint Lakes series. I'm almost finished with it. Without giving spoilers, I can tell you that the story is Ramsey, Saint Lakes' Alpha, and Fane, a very ill vampire shifter who was rescued in book four by Angel and Forrest. He was in the vampire prison for being feral.

The over all series plotline heats up in a big way in this book.

I'm shooting for a mid-August release date but if that changes at all I'll definitely post something on social media for sure. I'll post a blurb soon, so look for that. The book will be available on Amazon and be included in the Kindle Unlimited, along with all the other Saint Lakes books.

A human soldier and an omega wolf shifter find out they’re
mates in a world where segregation between humans and paranormals is standard
operating procedure.
Dylan Kole knows how to do one thing, and that’s to be a
soldier in the human army. He doesn’t know how to fit in with a bunch of
paranormal beings, and he certainly doesn’t know how to be a mate to Rudy
Malone, the only omega wolf shifter on Roguefalls Island. One thing Dylan does
have going for him is his ability to follow his instincts.
